Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Wordle Clue Helper (“we”, “our”, or “us”) operates the website at wordlecluehelper.com. This page explains how we handle your information when you use our tool.

We take your privacy seriously. This tool is designed to help you with the Wordle word game — it does not require an account, collect personal data beyond standard analytics, or share your information with third parties outside of the analytics services described below.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. GA4 collects anonymised data including:

• Pages visited and how long you stay on each page
• Your approximate geographic region (city-level, not precise location)
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Referring website or source that brought you to the site
• Interactions with the tool (button clicks, searches)

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Our site uses:

• Google Analytics cookies(_ga, _ga_*) — used to distinguish unique users and throttle request rates. These expire after 2 years.
• Local storage— we store your theme preference (light/dark mode) and your current grid state locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect the core functionality of the Wordle clue helper tool.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect to:

• Improve the tool and user experience
• Understand which features are most useful
• Monitor site performance and diagnose technical issues
• Measure traffic and engagement for future content planning

We do not sell your data, serve targeted advertising based on your browsing, or share your data with third parties beyond the analytics providers listed here.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services on this site:

• Google Analytics— web analytics (see section 2)
• Google AdSense— contextual advertising (if enabled). AdSense may use cookies to serve personalised ads. See Google’s advertising policy for details.
• Cloudflare— content delivery network and DNS. Cloudflare processes limited connection metadata (IP address, request headers) for security and performance purposes.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• Right to access— request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Right to deletion— request that we delete your data
• Right to opt out — you can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months before being automatically deleted. Your local storage data (theme preference, grid state) persists until you clear your browser data or local storage. We do not store any personal data on our servers.

8. Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
